On tap.
The appearance was a nice looking murky brown color with some light ruby red edges along the sides of the glass. Slight finger's worth of white foamy head that fell off at the expected pace to leave some sly messy yet sliding lace.
The aroma was an absolutely awesome blend of sweet red delicious apples to green apples, a light caramel/toffee maltiness, some biscuits/bread, then some sourdough, and a light presence of rye that all flowed into each other and then seemed to meld into a light whiskey to woody sort of sweet mesh.
The flavor was an absolutely wonderful blend of sweet to tart with an amplifying bitterness for balance. There's some sour which actually, I liked, somewhat different than what I'm used to for an old ale, but yes, quite enjoyable. Nicely moveable tart to sweet to bitter and woody sort of aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping sort of quality about it. Carbonation felt low, but was good to me as it wasn't bothersome. ABV felt on par as expected. Nicely sweet not cloying.
Overall, recommend for fans of old ales that somewhat like a little tickle of sour in there.
